Why Does Pandora Jewelry Get Dirty?
Before we get into the cleaning step, let’s first understand why Pandora jewelry will become dirty. Most of Pandora jewelry is made of 925 sterling silver or gold-plated material, after wearing it for a long time, your jewelry will come into contact with dust in the air, as well as sweat, skin care products, and cosmetics, which can stick to the surface. Therefore, regular cleaning of jewelry can not only maintain its luster, but also extend the service life of jewelry.
Cleaning Pandora Jewelry With Simple Tools
Cleaning Pandora jewelry is not really complicated, and mastering a few simple steps can restore your jewelry to like-new condition. First, prepare some tools – a soft-bristled brush (like an old toothbrush), warm water and a soft cloth. Do not use rough fabrics or hard objects when cleaning to avoid scratching the surface of your jewelry.
Step 1: Soak Your Jewelry In Warm Water
Soak your jewelry in warm water for a few minutes. The water temperature should not be too high, warm water can help soften the surface dirt and oxidized layer. If there are stubborn stains on the surface of the jewelry, you can add some mild detergent and let them soak for a while.
Step 2: Brush Gently
Use a soft-bristled brush (such as an old toothbrush) to gently brush every corner of your jewelry, especially the crevices. Be careful not to use too much force as this may damage the plating or finish. When brushing, be gentle, especially on the gem-set parts, to avoid scratching the surface of the stones.
Step 3: Rinse with Water
After cleaning, rinse the jewelry with water to make sure there is no detergent residue. Finally, gently dry the jewelry with a soft cloth to avoid leaving water stains.
For Different Materials of Jewelry
Pandora jewelry comes in a variety of materials, such as 925 sterling silver, gold-plated, inlaid with gemstones, etc. The cleaning methods for different materials are slightly different. Here are a few cleaning tips to help you clean different jewelry materials.
Cleaning for Silver Jewelry
For sterling silver jewelry, the best way to clean it is to wipe it down with a special cleaning cloth for silver jewelry. Silver jewelry cloths contain cleaning ingredients that effectively remove the oxidized layer on the surface. If you don’t have a special cloth, you can clean with warm water and a little detergent, and then dry with a cloth afterwards.
Cleaning of Gold-plated Jewelry
Gold-plated jewelry is more delicate than sterling silver and should not be cleaned with strong cleaners to prevent damaging the plating. You can use warm water and a soft bristle brush to clean it and avoid using any chemical cleaners while cleaning.
Gemstone-Set Jewelry Cleaning
Many of Pandora’s jewelry pieces are set with gemstones or crystals. When cleaning these pieces of jewelry, it’s best to use a damp cloth and wipe gently. For crystals, pearls and other materials, you can use warm water with a little detergent to clean, but avoid direct contact with hard or rough surfaces.
